I am designing a "garbage hunting" for a education project, i have used an sweep thin future with 3D skecth. I have tried creating new planes combined with cut extrude, and the rip future without significant result. What is the easiest way to cut it into sheet metal parts?

When i am using "convert to sheet metal" i want the radius to be 0 so i get corner treatment "corner to corner". Is this where the rip sketch comes in? The idea is to have 6 or 8 plates that are welded together(corner/corner) depending on the sheet metal size. Thanks in advance.

I have done a fair amount of sheet metal chutes/ducts and the model that you show, looks really good, I would also use it to control all the sheet metal component. The way I would suggest extracting sheet metal is to insert the model you show into a "New" assembly. Save the assembly and insert new components.

Attached is my workflow, the only difference would be that I use a Skeleton Sketch Part rather than a solid, meaning a part with just planes and sketches. You can also use a solid model dummy part or dummy assembly.

Interesting document, i do prefer to create a solid model or dummy part as mentioned and create a 3D sketch out of that. So i have more control if i have to do some changes along the way. And finally make a assembly of every thing.

Good point, the reason is most likely lack of experience hehe. I tried to make a flat pattern with the three sections. But only one is showing in the Drawing. Any tips on how to do it easier next time ?
